Karic is a cheerful and warm-hearted person. He often sings songs and looks around anxiously. When he smiles, he narrows his pale blue eyes and keeps stroking his sparse moustache. He doesn’t walk fast, but he takes a big step and leans gently on a long thin stick.
On this day, he talked to me more than once and waited on me in a humble manner, but he took care of his boss like a child.
When the heat forced us to find shelter at noon, he led us into the depths of the forest and came to his beekeeping farm.
Karic made us a hut full of bundles of fragrant hay. He let us lie on fresh hay, but he put something with bags under his eyes on his head, took a knife and jar, and a piece of burnt wood went to the beekeeping to cut honey for us.
We drank the warm honey from the spring and fell asleep in the monotonous buzzing of bees and the rustling of leaves.
A breeze woke me up. I opened my eyes and saw karic sitting on the half-door threshold carving a wooden spoon with a knife. His face was soft and long, just like I enjoyed it in his face for a long time in the evening. Mr. Poludkin also woke up. We didn’t have a horse, got up and ran for a long time, and then slept soundly for a while. It was very comfortable to lie still on the hay. At this time, I was relaxed and lazy, and the hot air gently brushed my face. A sweet tiredness made people blind.

Finally, we got up and wandered around until the sun went down for dinner. I talked about Hall and karic. karic was a kind farmer. Mr. Poludkin told me that he was a diligent and enthusiastic person. He worked steadily but he couldn’t do anything because I always dragged him to hunt with me every day. What else do you do? Tell me, I said we would lie down and sleep.
The next day, Porudkin went to the city because of his neighbor Bichukov’s lawsuit, and his neighbor Bichukov plowed his land and beat him up as a peasant woman. I went hunting alone, and I stopped by Hall’s house at dusk.
I met an old man with bald head, small head, wide shoulders and strong shoulders at the door of the house. This is Hall. I looked at this Hall with curiosity. His face is very similar to Socrates’ forehead, and his eyes are also high and bumpy. We walked into the room together, or that Fija brought me milk and brown bread. Hall sat on the bench and smoothed his roll of Bahu calmly. When he talked to me, he probably felt that he was a weight. When he spoke and moved slowly, his long lips smiled at the bottom.
I talked about farming and talking about farm life. No matter what I said, he almost agreed with me. It was only later that I felt embarrassed. I felt that I was wrong. This situation was quite strange. Hall spoke with caution, which was an example of our conversation.
I asked you Hall, and I said to him, Why don’t you redeem yourself from your boss?
Why should I redeem my eyes? I get along well with my owner, and I have to rent it. My owner is a good owner.
But it’s always better, I said
Hall gave me an oblique look.
Of course, he said
Then why don’t you be redeemed?
Hall shook his head, sir. What do you want me to take to redeem myself?
Hum, forget it, you old man
If Hall becomes a man, he seems to speak like a novel. Anyone who doesn’t leave Hu people to refer to officials at all levels, and it is forbidden for officials to grow beards in Nicholas I’s time, will take care of Hall.
Then shave off your beard, too
What is Hu? Hu is grass. Cut it if you want.
Then why don’t you cut it?
Oh, maybe Hall will become a businessman. Businessmen have a good day. Businessmen also grow beards.
What, aren’t you in business, too? I asked him
How about doing a little business and selling a little cream tar? Does Master want a car?
I said in my heart that you are so careful what you say. You are so clever.
But I said no, I don’t want a car. I want to walk around your house tomorrow, but I want to spend the night in your hay shed tonight.
I can’t meet you in the hay shed, can you relax? I asked the ladies to put a mattress for you and put a pillow for the ladies. He got up and shouted, "Come here, ladies. You can take the master. Women are stupid things."
After a quarter of an hour, Feijia led me to the hay shed with a lamp. I threw myself on the fragrant hay dog and curled up at my feet. Feijia said good night to me and twisted the door.
I haven’t been able to sleep for a long time. A cow walked to the door and snorted a few times. The dog barked at the cow proudly. A pig walked past the door and hummed thoughtfully. A horse chewed hay and kept sniffing until I finally fell asleep.
